What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative culture.

I am a seasoned financial professional with extensive experience in audit, financial planning and analysis (FP&A), and risk management. Over the years, I have honed my skills in creating financial dashboards and preparing comprehensive reports that provide stakeholders with real-time insights into the financial performance of the business. My role as a Finance Manager at AstraZeneca has allowed me to negotiate favorable terms with vendors, develop budgeting processes, and implement internal controls to enhance financial accuracy and compliance.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to excellence by developing risk management frameworks and conducting detailed financial analyses to identify cost-saving opportunities. My ability to liaise with external auditors and ensure compliance with regulations has been instrumental in maintaining the integrity of financial statements. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am adept at managing multiple tasks while delivering high-quality results.
